ESM_1. List of capture-recapture models to estimate population size of salamanders during 2008-2011 at Oviedo urban population. DAICc = difference in AICc value relative to the best model; wi = AICc weights of model i; MLi = likelihood of model i; np = number of parameters; Devi = deviance of model i. Selected model in bold. f = survival; p = recapture probability; N: population size. t = time-dependent; · = constant
